About: I have taken care of animals for the past 15 years, and have dog and cat watched though out the years. I used to have my own dog walking business. I am currently a college student at the University of Missouri working a part time job and I’m also involved in a few clubs in my community. I have time in the early mornings and later afternoons to watch and walk your fur babies! I pay close attention to pets and make sure all needs are met. I put pets first and like to keep them happy, clean, and safe at all times. Please let me know any additional details or facts about your fur baby so I can make that possible!!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and turkeys, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds from a young age. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with everything from puppy potty and crate training to feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time within my days to love and care for your fur babies while your're unable to! I have a fenced yard with lots of other friendly dogs that are always eager to have another playmate! Between crate training, potty training, or walks with your pup I am able and willing to do it all!

About: Growing up with a revolving door of furry friends (rescue pups and adopted kitties to be exact!), I understand the special bond we share with our animal companions. My home office offers a calm and loving environment where your dog can relax and receive personalized attention. I believe in tailoring each experience to their unique needs, whether it's a playful puppy, a senior who enjoys gentle strolls, or a special needs furball requiring extra TLC. I currently work from home most of the week. I'm available for boarding, dog walking and daycare during the week and weekends. I will try to accommodate any schedule. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs and a cat to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I'm experienced with handling dogs of all sized, breeds, and temperaments. Happy to accommodate special needs, dietary restrictions and medication schedules.

About: Hi! I’m Bailey, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently care for my own pets and have experience with senior pets, medically complex pets, medications, anxious animals, and multi-pet households. I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work independently, which allows me flexibility and reliability when caring for your pets. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll treat them like members of my own family. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and communication while you’re away. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. Because I work from home, pets receive regular attention, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I work remotely from my home, allowing me to closely monitor pets throughout the day. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requests. I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including seniors and pets with complex medical needs. I understand that every pet is unique and strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. My goal is to provide a calm, safe environment where your pet feels at home while you’re away.

About: Recently graduated from Mizzou, I have spent the last 2 years helping to care for our house pets, including two cats and one dog. I worked to feed, walk, and engage with my pets during this period. Prior to this, I lived and cared for many animals back in my hometown: 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 2 parrots, and a turtle. Because of this, I deliver versatile care, and understand that every pet has its own unique needs! I work 2 part time jobs, both in healthcare, where my hours are stacked on certain days of the week. This gives me flexibility to help care for your pets! Though each week can be a little different, I have my schedule set throughout the summer and can plan far ahead! I have such a big heart for animals! I love giving them attention and care above and beyond what's expected. I prefer to do this in a house sitting situation due to having 5 other roomates with animals here, but I have a car and am willing to do overnights!

About: I always insure that pets are comfortable! I’ve taken care of old cats and dogs, and I when they are old like that it’s important to meet their needs first, as most of the time they need a lot of guidance and help. I am currently going into online college, so most of my day is free! I often sit down and watch TV or play video games, but I mostly enjoy writing and drawing in my free time I personally like to ask owners how there pets are in the company of others, as well as if any weather bugs them! The comfort of my pets, and owners is always my number 1 priority! I want to make sure that they are comfortable around me, and I never approach any animal until I’ve let them sniff me, it’s important that they trust me to be around them.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old, and my love for them is at the heart of everything I do. As an aspiring animal rights attorney beginning my law school journey, advocating for the well-being of animals is something I’m passionate about both personally and professionally. I believe every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to get to know both you and your pet to provide care that’s tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while treating both you and your home with the utmost respect. I’m proud to have built lasting relationships with my clients. I’ve had 2–3 regular semiannual clients who have trusted me with their pets for over three years, as well as a monthly client who has relied on my care for the past year. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including: Dogs: Shih Tzus, Shipoos, Goldendoodles, English Mastiffs, Great Pyrenees, Pit Bulls, mixed breeds, and French Bulldogs. Cats: Himalayans, Persians, and Tabbies. In addition to pet sitting, I worked as a dog bather at a professional grooming salon, where I safely handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. That experience strengthened my confidence in reading canine behavior and providing calm, patient care, even in unfamiliar situations. For me, pet care is about more than meeting basic needs—it’s about building trust, understanding each pet’s unique personality, and giving owners peace of mind knowing their companions are in caring, capable hands. I’m a student and a part time employee so I ask that you schedule 3 weeks prior to needing my services to allow me time to request time off from my other job. I can easily walk your dog for up to an hour and a half or take them to a dog park outside to play if you have a fenced in yard as I have a car and I’m a pretty active person.

Brandi came and walked my dog every day for several weeks while I was waiting for hip replacement. A definite plus for me. She varied her times around weather and the fact that my doggy gets hot if the sun is too much (she came in the evening).

About: I put 12 years as my experience with taking care of animals because that is how long I have had my own animals but I have been around animals my whole 32 years of life. My household consists of my husband and two daughters plus our 6 dogs, 2 cat, 1 bearded dragon, 1 snake, and 11 chickens. My husband and I pride ourselves on making sure our animals are well cared for, trained and loved! I am a teacher in Plattsburg. We have school 4 days a week, Tuesday-Friday. During the school year I am very limited on availability due to school, planning, and my kids activities. I am available for most breaks and during the summer. I am not easily scared or timid of any animal. My husband and I pride ourselves on giving our animals the best care possible. Unfortunately due to the amount of animals we have and my daughters, I am not able to offer in home care or able to stay at your home overnight. I would love to be the reliable pet lover you are needing for dog walks, daytime drop ins for potty breaks and socialization and care.

About: I have tons of pet care experience. I used to work in a daycare/ boarding facility. I have also cared for dogs in my home before. I am available every day of the week with flexible hours. I am also a certified pet trainer and your dog may come home with new skills or improved manners just for fun. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise and socializing. I will love your dog as much as you do and will treat them like my own. I am respectful and responsible with any of your personal needs or wants when it comes you and your four legged friends. Please let me care for your pet while you are gone and trust that I will take good care of them. I am home full time with the exception of personal outings and running errands. I will be able to let your pups out for potty breaks, go for walks and have plenty of time to play. I make sure that a leash is always attached before opening a door to take your dog for a walk unless fenced in. We currently don’t have a fence, but will hopefully soon. We have two friendly dogs.

About: Good afternoon everyone, my name is Alayna and I’ve been working with animals for over 10 years In many different fields even on a farm. I have experience with a variety of animals including, snakes, lizards/ geckos, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, horses, chickens, cats and dogs. I work at a vet office and am very familiar with older pets as well as knowing how to do nail trims and baths. A couple good reasons I stand out from everyone else is that I have experience administering medicine to animals, especially cats, because I’ve been fostering them for about 5 years and I also worked at a vet hospital as a kennel attendant meaning I’ve been around all sizes of dogs plus I’m pretty great at giving baths. Another reason is that I’ve actually owned all the animals I have listed here so I have plenty of experience. My schedule is a bit complicated working full time as a vet assistant. I’m always available Friday-Saturday but other days is a bit difficult. Regardless though I’ll always find time the take care of your fur baby needs. Rather it’s a last minute trip your going on or a family emergency, your pets health and well-being is safe with me! When it comes to animal safety I’m all ears, especially when there’s more then one animal lose in the house. I take advice from the owners on how they’d like the animal to be kept such as if they wish to keep their pet in a room instead of free roam. When taking the animal outside, I will always be outside with them so no accidents are to happen. Before leaving the house, I always make sure to pick up or move anything the animal could reach they aren’t suppose to have and put it in a high or closed off area.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Ridgely

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 1,842 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ridgely. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Ridgely. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Ridgely.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridgely. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
